My favorite character in literature is Peter Pan. Peter has it all. He never grows up. He has the curiosity of a child. He fights evil and cares for lost kids. And he FLIES.

And when he flies, it's not on the power of a machine, it's on the power of pure innocent belief. The fairy dust is just for show.

Who is your favorite character? And why?

Diana Moon Glampers

Cause I don't get it either.

to fly without machines!!!!! wow, yeah! he´s lovely!!!!

Diana character looks desafiante... we all in a way or another sometimes have the feeling that life ows us something or that we missed something without return!!!!!

I like a bit empty-vague-funny personajes: Mattia Pascal/Adriano Meis from Pirandello´s Il fu Mattia Pascal wondering about the real-thing and trying to re-write (without success) personal story & identity, Marlow from Conrad´s "Heart of Darkness", sea sailor leading with a sinking river´s boat, the journalist in "Todo modo", a bored eye that can´t avoid to see... mmm... no idea about female caracters! Lewis Carroll´s Alicia is the only one in my mind now. I´ll think about it!!!!

Peter Pan has always been my favourite, much for the same reasons as you LR.

Dr. Sax...he makes things go bump in the night....

Cindrella's fairy godmother always appealed to me......

hest, why did I think that you would respond with a Hawthorne character?

but you always surprise me

Oh, well Hester is a given!
I guess I was thinking fairy tales....

I'm sure I'll think of others, but right now Huck Finn comes to mind. Why? Because he never completely lost touch with some sense of the underlying "oneness" of human existence, a child's sense of it, even as he overcame so much adversity through sheer will and toughness. He was color-blind, or he at least trusted his own heart and instincts to befriend the slave Jim and team up with him to try and get to where they were going, and he was saddened (and sidetracked) by the senseless war and swindle he encountered on the way. It was just a great adventure (as the title implies), plus he refused to be "sivilized" right to the end.

Super Robot Girl, of course.

No Brainer....Japhy Rder in the Dharma Bums....by jack....peter pan? i thought it was a peanut butter

Tigger.

"Trout Fishing in America" (Brautigan). Now there's an innovative character.

Also, HST as his gone-zo self ain't bad. And his "Attorney" in "Fear and Loathing"... pretty scary.

what a treasure!!
I just turned the TV on and guess what is playing?
Disney's Peter Pan

I'll be in tears for the next two hours because this story is so beautiful
I'm crying already and they haven't even gotten to Never-Never Land
leave me alone
I'm never growing up

Girly man!
